The Old Story in Song ‎#78

78. Wanted

1 Wanted, wanted, loyal hearts are wanted,
Faithful in the service of our Lord and King;
Hearts with true love burning,
Hearts o’er sinners yearning,
Seeking evermore the lost ones back to bring.

Refrain:
Out into the harvest field and labor while you may,
Out into the harvest field, work while ‘tis call’d today;
Ye loyal hearts and true, and lab’rers not a few,
Wanted, wanted, the Lord hath need of you.

2 Wanted, wanted, tongues of fire are wanted,
Consecrated lips with Pentecost aflame;
Free to tell the story
Of his pow’r and glory,
Glad to go a full salvation to proclaim. [Refrain]

3 Wanted, wanted, helping hands are wanted,
Willing hands to labor anytime or where;
Fields with harvest bending,
God his reapers sending,
Who will go the precious golden sheaves to bear. [Refrain]

4 Wanted, wanted, holy lives are wanted,
Showing unto sinners Jesus pow’r to save;
Freed from condemnation,
Kept by his salvation,
Spent in service here the lives he freely gave. [Refrain]
